IP Short for Internet Protocol, IP is the underlying Protocol for all
internet transfers. IP is considered a datagram or unreliable
packet since it is sent out without any required provision for
verification of receipt.
IP Address This is the address scheme used to identify a node on an IP
network. Every node on a given network is represented by a
unique set of four numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255.
These numbers are commonly arranged with periods as sepa-
rators, e.g., 204.57.59.68. The largest example of an IP based
network is the Internet. Since every address on the network
must be unique, for a node to exist on the Internet it must be
assigned an IP Address. IP numbers are typically assigned to
an organization as a group of similar numbers which are then
distributed to their machines either dynamically or on a perma-
nent basis.
IPX Network Number An eight-digit hexidecimal number that uniquely identifies a
Netware network.
